Loch Resilience Project Draft Plan - Community Feedback Survey

Welcome to this short survey designed to gather community feedback on the Draft Loch Resilience Project Plan. The Draft Loch Resilience Project Plan was created from input provided by Loch and districts residents and business owners through several workshops and many meetings, since the storm events in early 2024 through to August 2025. The Draft plan is now ready for community review and feedback before being updated and published. Please read the plan before completing the survey - it can be found on the Loch Community Development Association website, www.lochvillage.com

This survey is designed to gather feedback from people who live or work in Loch and nearby districts. If you are not a resident of or do not work in Loch or districts, please do not complete the survey, but if you want to know more, please contact the Loch Resilience Project on E: lochresilienceproject@gmail.com
